Yes well, I'm Sort of Back

I haven't felt the need to write here for a long time, but it's only because I've been furiously writing chapter after chapter. I'm on the verge of finishing my novel. Nine chapters to go before the first draft of my book is complete, and I'm so excited. My goal is to get it done before the summer ends, that way when school comes along, I don't have to worry about putting off homework so I can write a little chapter here and there. Yes, I'll be reading through it and editing it constantly, and I have a lot of revision to do, but I'm just happy that I've gotten so far. Syrusses's secret is revealed in chapter 33, and Cyran is about to use it to his advantage. Syrusses has been so patient, so determined, and so ready to get this sword, that by the time Syrusses gets to the cave, all control snaps. Will he unleash the sword or not?

On other news, my parents are in Park City right now, meaning my aunt and uncle are here to stay with us to make sure kidnappers don't come along, or if anything happens they'll be here to help. Basically, with them here, it means I can stay up a lot later outside of my room if I wanted. *Snicker* Shh....don't tell anyone. My uncle told me his million dollar novel idea, and I suppose I would read it, but Zombies and smart people? Mm...maybe. We'll see if it turns out okay.

I was in a fictionpress forum yesterday, just lingering, trying to get reviewers for my book, when I came upon something that actually scared me out of my mind:

Coolmonster
Sometimes a writer starting out very young has a long writing career ahead of them but other times they never seem to write anything comparable with their first success. Burned themselves out to early, perhaps. Mary Shelley sold Frankenstein at 17, but never came up with anything else you'd want to read. Robert Bloch started writing at 15 and became a famous horror novelist. Stephen King submitted his first story at 15 to Famous Monsters of Filmland. The story was not accepted, the editor felt other young people who did not become well known writers had sent him better stories. Many years later, long after King was world famous, the editor discovered he had an original King story and published it among much fanfare. The magazine it appeared in skyrocketed in value, but it really wasn't as good as other stories by teenagers not interested in making writing their life's work.

Now think about that. I am a young writer. :( I'm scared that all my juice will be gone when I'm older! D: Now you see my dilemma? Yes, you do....ugh....I shouldn't let this get to me, but I can't help but worry. That's why I keep going over my other novel ideas as well, that's why I write down anything that comes to mind in my itsy bitsy notebook downstairs. Ah well, I'm sure I won't be like other authors....I hope. 

Stars Don't Fall Update from Little-Miss-Author

Okay, so as my readers know, I'm pretty much writing a book. Well! I finished chapter 26, sat down in my soft chair, pulled the notebook on my lap, and something hit me. The second book to the Fantasy Roleplay trilogy!!!

Really guys. I'm serious. I came up with this big plot for my second book, so now I can't write fast enough to get to it. You guys wanna know what it is? Yes you do.

So basically I'll be giving away the end of my current book....shit. Nevermind. I don't wanna do that! Now what do I write???

Nah I'll just tell you.

Wvern had been destroyed, along with all of its simple technologies. Syrusses is the new ruler of the planet Curzonin with McKenzie as his queen. Syrusses's own hostages escape into the wilderness of Curzonin and experience new challenges they had never faced before: violent animals, ashy rain, and volcanic terrain. Alyshia nearly gives up leading her friends until they discover an abandoned village. They used it as a rest stop, only to discover a girl close to their age who captures all their hearts. They turn around and begin a rebellion to over take Syrusses's capitol city while he was still weak without an army.
Victory feels likely this time. 

And then for a third book, Cyran and McKenzie and them all rebuild Curzonin and use the sword to change the features so it's sort of like Wvern again, and they create a new kingdom and stuff, but the sword is being overloaded with power and is going haywire, and it creates this big monster that threatens to destroy all life on the planet, and then they have to ask Syrusses to help them out, even though they put him in a dungeon a while back, because Syrusses is the only one who may know how to destroy the sword and the monster, and find a new way to keep the planet's life source from dying off without the sword.

It was quite a short period of time to come up with it, but it's only because I had a dream a few months ago. I'll describe it to you:

Something happens to earth where quite a few people die, nearly the whole world, and only a few people had the opportunity to get aboard a spaceship and fly to anew world. Just before they get there,t he ships mess up and they crash land in an undestined planet, scattering people all over the big world. Few survive and moved to high ground from the weird conditions of the planet. From there they and settled and mated, but birth was rare on the planet from weird gases floating in the air.

From there, there is a girl who is left alone at her village just before others were supposed to come with a message. They had all mysteriously died in a rogue animal attack, but discovers something very human that suggests that the attack was human. Now, scared for her life, she fleas to the inside of her village's fortress and barricaded it. She doesn't want the other people to come for her either, so she hides, hoping the other will the traps she laid out. Then new people come along and decide to help her out and get past the booby traps.

I'm working on Chapter 27 as we speak. :D This is so exciting!!!! And you know, I have my entire story so far on my profile, if you're curious. I have a lot of readers who love it so much. ----> Profile


So anyway, there's a good update for ya. I'm pretty excited about this new idea that has come up. Super excited.

Hopes

I haven't been feeling the magic lately. I mean, usually I've always been wanting to write and write and write, but I'm stuck on Chapter 26. I don't know what to do. I know what I want to go on, but I don't know what else to write for that little part. My mind won't let me go on until I've perfected Chapter 26. I don't know what to do! I need more inspiration, maybe. But all I've wanted to do was role play with my fellow plotters for the story, rather than actually write it. I'm also pushed, because I desperately want to finish the book and make it a beautiful best seller so I can get money for college! I know it takes time though. Let alone courage to get it in for publishers. Blach! Writing a book is so stressful sometimes! Especially when I try to think so far ahead...I shouldn't have to think so far ahead. I really shouldn't, but I always catch myself doing so. I keep getting distracted, and I'm sometimes just too lazy, and sometimes I don't feel like writing it out by hand, and sometimes I don't want to type, and sometimes I just want to sit or go swimming or do something with friends rather than write. I wonder if this is how Authors feel, especially when they write for a career and are trying to get books out on schedule...I need to prepare for that, as well as journalism, which I hope I'll like and make a career out of. I cross my fingers now, and hope that this book, after I get full on permission, and possibly change some names in it, will become something better than it really is.

Getting There...

So yesterday I had finished Chapter Twenty Four on my precious novel and was traveling to Fictionpress.com to post it up for a loyal reader, when suddenly it doesn't let me through. It kept saying server 404 error or whatever, and I was growing impatient. I decided to wait a day, and then see if it would work. No dice. I'm getting angry now, because I really want to post it up, but it won't let me go to the actual editing page to add in a harmless little chapter. I'm tempted to go downstairs and reset the router, but I doubt that will help with a server problem.....I really hate technology sometimes.

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE!! I'm officially 24 chapters in, nearly half way through, with 71,600 words, and 200 pages with 14 pt. Font. Proud? Yes. Yes you are.

Les Creativeness!

For I have written ANOTHER Short story! That i Think was just very good description wise...or at least...good for ME. YAY!!! Go to Passion and Roses and look for "The Little Restaurant". Despite the title, it's a thrilling story about a girl caught up with a gang!!!

To Let Out Feelings...

I have created a new short story that I will be posting up on Passion and Roses. I feel accomplished because I haven't written a short story in forEVER. And I think this one turned out really good. I wrote it really fast and let out a lot of emotion through it....which will explain the explosions and deaths....btu you know, it's good for me, and it's a  great 3,126 word Story Story, you'll love it. It's "A Vulnerable World"

New Blog Design....Again

I've decided to make my blog brighter, because of my depressed mood. Every time I come to write on here I want my color choice to affect my mood. Yellow for fun, exciting things, blue for my favorite color and how OCD I am with my blog. I took a personality color test, and I came up mostly yellow, so that should explain a lot.

BOO!!!

So I changed my blog. Yay! I was way bored so I kept the blue, but I didn't like the lips or anything and I saw all kinds of pictures for titles, so I got jealous and tried to do it....

I failed, considering how gigantic that picture is. I'll figure it out, until then, BOO that picture must scare you!!! Hahahaah suckers. I scared you!

Never mind. I fixed it to something I really really like. Thanks guys for sticking with me!
